My Academic Genealogy

Most doctoral students work with an academic advisor, who served as their mentor. Through the student-mentor relationship, the educational culture, research styles, manners and ethics are passed on from advisor to student and from one generation to the next.

Thanks to Prof. Mehdi Mirakhorli for tracing the lineage.
